GP writer Jared discusses four games that used evolution as its main gameplay mechanic.
Pokémon Black & White may be some people's favourite games in the franchise, but they also started some bad trends.
The 1990s were a time where mech-suit manga and television shows were starting to filter into the United States. The result was that we got a boatload of cool mech games like Metal Warriors.
Still love the Power Rangers games but most of these underrated games cost an arm and a leg to buy unless you kept them around when they released.
yeah I had to resort to an everdrive cart for my Analogue Super NT because some game prices are just ridiculous.
Sparkster. Like Rocket Knight Adventures on the Sega Genesis neither game seems to be brought up much. I played both game a whole lot growing up.
Wow, would you look at that? A game list with some actual forgotten gems. Color me impressed.
Good stuff. 👍
I cannot praise EVO The Search for Eden enough. This game deserves a remake as it’s one of the wildest platformer JRPGs ever made. The concept of spending XP on evolving and devolving on the fly to navigate the world was really interesting. Evolution in games is rarely tackled creatively but EVO nailed it.
This was one of my favorite games during the 16-Bit era. Me and my cousin rented it not knowing what it was and ended up finishing it. Still, to this day, one of the most unique games I've ever played. Very addictive too.
This game is truly tops. 👍
Written by Aaron Daniels - Pokemon games are like flavours of crisp; everybody has a favourite and least favourite, there’s absolutely no consensus on which is best or worst, and debates on the subject get more heated than a McDonald’s Apple Pie on the surface of the sun. Unlike crisps however, where everybody who chooses cheese and onion over anything else is clearly on hallucinogens and requires an intervention from their friends and family, there’s at least some wiggle room for appreciating every Pokemon game on their own merits.
